Re: flushing dbms_output.put_line

What I do is include a procedure called something like o( ) for output. All the dbms_output.put_line calls are rewritten to go through o. The o() procedure writes to a pipe, which I view in another session.

You could easily just put o into a package and then set variables and have o write to tables (for a log), a pipe (to view in another session) or to a file with utl_file.

Otherwise, I don't know of a way to flush it to the screen.
